What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 92 sqm, the ask is €435/sqm; with a light habitable refresh estimate of about €150/sqm for dated single-glazed windows, the effective cost is roughly €585/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €419/sqm in Abruzzo townhouses. Ready-to-live condition in a historic center supports the value, but the effective price is only ordinary to slightly above this biased-low baseline, so it looks good rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable old-town home rather than a project: the vaulted ceilings give it some real character, and the rooms look solid, clean, and immediately habitable. The beauty is modest rather than breathtaking, with no evident views or outdoor space, but at €40k it feels like an honest and livable historic-centre base.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- No visible view, terrace, or outdoor space.
- Interiors are livable but fairly plain and dated.
- Single-glazed windows may affect comfort/efficiency.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 61/100The area sits in the Pescara valley between the Maiella massif to the southwest and the lower hills that run toward the Adriatic. The Pescara River runs nearby, with mixed farmland, olive groves and low wooded slopes around the settlements. Maiella National Park begins farther inland on the mountain side of the province, but the immediate landscape here is the foothill and valley country outside the park. The nearest larger town is Pescara-Chieti, which provides the main rail links, airport, hospitals and full services for the area. This part of inland Abruzzo is known for olive oil, vineyards and small hill villages along the valleys leading up toward the Apennines.
